Fast Track To and Through College Act
This bill creates two pathways to help high school students earn college credit while in high school and graduate early. The "early college fast track pathway" allows students to take college-level courses (like AP, IB, or dual enrollment) that count toward a degree, while the "early high school graduation pathway" lets students graduate in 3 years without needing remedial college courses and provides a scholarship for college. States would receive federal grants to implement these pathways, requiring them to align high school curriculum with college requirements, create statewide credit transfer agreements, and ensure credit transfer between institutions. The bill also changes Pell Grant rules to allow eligible high school students in these pathways to receive Pell Grants without counting toward the usual 12-semester limit. It requires states to track participation and outcomes, particularly for historically underrepresented students.
